From Elizabeth Suzann Studio:
A masculine tapered trouser or wide leg palazzo pant that evokes just the right amount of 90s business-suit drama but is balanced enough to feel modern. Elegant high waist, gorgeous front pleats for drama, and sleek back darts for shape. In a soft linen, these feel like the ultimate three-season luxury. They'll adopt wrinkles gracefully and look even better broken in. In a heavier canvas or wool, they are indestructible.
The Trouser has a relaxed fit with a subtle barrel shape, cropped to the ankle to modernize the rounded silhouette. The Palazzo has a flowy, wide leg with a slightly more cropped length than the Trouser to balance out the volume. Use these classic, building-block pant patterns as a jumping-off point for a variety of wardrobe staples that will serve you well for years.
Required Techniques:
Intermediate difficulty with optional Beginner version that skips the inseam pockets. This pattern requires understitching, topstitching, facings, and the insertion of an elastic waistband.
This pattern has 8 pattern pieces in total including optional (4) inseam pocket pieces, and can be completed in about three hours including cutting time.
Recommended Fabrics: We recommend medium-weight fabrics with no stretch. Linen, cotton, hemp, in plainweaves or canvas will work well. Lighter weight fabrics will add more drape, and heavier fabrics will result in a more structured garment. Ensure that whatever material you choose can hold up in the pocket area..
Sizes: US XXS-5XL
